The almost always active Big Sam will get even busier as B.A.S.S. Central Opens return to Sam Rayburn the first week of September. In my personal opinion, it will take an average of 16 to 18 pounds per day to win.

Some southern lakes die(slow down) in the summer months but not Big Sam. It is hot right now but fishing is still good. Get a big hat, sun screen, Gator Aid and bottle water and fish both edge of grass as well as on deep drops and humps
